For the past six seasons, Brandeis has made the NCAA tournament, advancing to the Final Four in 2016 and 2017. That run has cemented the Judges’ program as one of the best Division 3 programs in New England and one of the ascendant teams in the country.
This legacy enticed Skylah Dias, a soon-to-be freshman midfielder at Brandeis, to pursue his college career in Waltham, Mass. For Dias, an All-League player at Case High School (Swansea, Mass.) and centerpiece for GPS Massachusetts’ 1999 NPL team, it’s an opportunity he can’t wait to seize.
